Trade in your wife! Know anyone who's had an offer?
I just read this:

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/early-doors/arsenal-fan-loses-house-over-united-wager-145341020.html

In Uganda, a man staked his house on the result of the Manchester United/Arsenal match against his rival's car and wife.

He is now out on the street along with his 5 children and 3 wives.

It reminded me of how on holiday in Tunisia, my Grandad was once offered a chance to trade in my Grandma for the man's taxi and several camels. With each refusal, additional camels were added to the deal, until the man finally gave up. Does anyone else know anyone who was offered such a deal, or experienced it personally? I'm just curious, about what was offered, and how regularly this might occur. Till death do us part we say here. In other parts of the World though, the parting can occur simply for the right amount of money or goods.

Topics like this aren't good for discussion, because they run a very real risk of giving our wives ideas =)

I don't want to think what value women might put on us...

A woman staked her husband on the outcome of a football match against a bag of chips and a can of coke :p
